Help Revolutionize Education For Peruvian Children

Thank you for your donations! Due to your generous contributions, Enseña Perú has been able to keep growing and reach more students. We have some amazing news and we want to share the story of Kimberly with you:

In 2012, almost 6 years ago, Kimberly’s family moved to Cerro Colorado in Arequipa. There, she started school at the Villa Magisterial. Her first day of school was very special because it was a new place, new friends and new tasks.

When she got to the first grade classroom, a young lady with a very warm smile was waiting for Kimberly at the door to give her a big hug as a welcome. She was the teacher Flor, who tough them to add, subtract, read and write with tons of patience and motivation in the moments the class said they could not do or achieve something. Flor talked a lot with the parents, explained them the things they had to support at home and how they could teach more things to the kids.

As the kids knew that their teacher was part of Enseña Perú, an organization that invites all professionals who wish to support children to have access to education and be better people, they also find out that Silvana, also part of the organization, was going to be their next teacher for the 2014 and 2015 period.

As a very loving and kind person, Silvana took the class to several places to visit. Also, they understood that not everyone learns the same way so that wasn’t a reason to separate people form the group rather to support them and, they learned how to differentiate between they wants and needs. The kids notice that they were 2017 class so they should work to be better students: creative, loving, peaceful and autonomous ones.

In 2016, Elvira arrived and kept working on the project the school already had: taking care of the environment, responsible adoption of the animals, and more. For the animals campaign, Kimberly’s classmates visited one of the biggest TV channels in Lima to invite all people to adopt animals responsibly and not to buy them on the streets.

She staid only one year and, in 2017, Christian arrived to the classroom. The kids already knew him from a math project that leaded them to the National Mathematics Competition on 2016 where Kimberly had the 16^th place in the south level. Because of those results, the class is going to work with the High Potentials School in order to be a better community and to be more developed in and outside class.

This is their last year of elementary school, so Kimberly told us that the group wants to do all the activities super good, they are giving their best, knowing new places and people, having difficult moments but also great ones.

 “Today I talk much more with my parents about what happens to me and they are much more aware of what I do and like. All that makes me surer that my dream of being a civil engineer is closer. Also, I want to be the next President of Peru, I am sure that if I have the opportunity, I won’t lie and would seek to help the people who need it the most.” - Kimberly.
